On March 12, I made a quick trip to pick up milk and bread. After arriving home, putting my items away and hanging up my coat, I got a phone call from Kevin (my No. 1 guy) at the Hamline-Hoyt service station. He had noticed, as I drove by the station, that my right rear tire was flat. He told me to bring it right over, which I did.

At 8:45 the next morning, my car was ready to go, with a brand-new tire.

I don't know when I would have noticed the flat. Thanks to Kevin, a major disaster was avoided.
